Customer Reviews Merrell Kids Hydro (Toddler/Little Kid/Big Kid)

Sturdy, well designed, comfortable (so says my son). For some reason these started smelling awful very quickly, which hasn't happened with Keen shoes before. All in all I'd definitely recommend.

Shoes developed a bad smell after only being worn every other day for a couple of months. Never had this issue before with kids shoes. Cleaned inside of shoes thoroughly with baking soda and vinegar, but the bad smell returned after the next couple of wears. Have friends with children who also have these shoes and also experienced a bad smell after a couple months. Will not purchase these again for my kids. The design is a great concept, but something needs to be done about the odor.

After ordering and returning many brands and sizes, my son really likes these shoes. He has sensory issues so shoes must feel just right for him to willingly and gladly wear them. We ordered the "Olive Leather" and they look terrific. The orange trim gives it a cute pop of color. He hasn't worn them long enough to develop any kind of odor that has been mentioned in other reviews so I can't speak to that. We have odor powder on hand for both kids' shoes anyway, so I just plan to use that early and often. I have a few pairs of Merrells and I love them, so I have high hopes for these.

I don’t love spending this much on kids shoes, but I will for these sandals. My boys have had a pair of these for the last few summers and they’ve only stopped wearing them because their feet outgrew them. My kids are VERY hard on shoes and these hold up with being worn almost everyday for months.

On the size chart it says a European 36 is a size 4, but I ordered the size 4 and it says on the inside that it's a European 35. I know my son needs a European 36 so which is it? He's out of the country right now and I can't check on his actual feet.

These run at least one size big! Cute style and camo color. These are great summer camp shoe for my son.

We kept the New Balance Kids 515 Sport (Little Kid/Big Kid) shoes in a size 4W and yet these 3W were too long -- I'm afraid his toes will get caught in the openings and then the right foot the heel has trouble going in and both of them seem a bit close/tight around the ankle end of the foot. My kid is a borderline W but enough that he can only occasionally wear a M width that runs wide. He has worn Merrel Hydros for years so I'm disappointed they don't fit anymore.

Run way too big. Will be returning and purchasing the next size down. Cute style!

Very beautiful but my son complained of the seam in the back and we had to return it

These run a size big.

Super cute, super durable. Dries pretty fast. Great to wear at Summer Day Camp for water play.

Youngest grandson has wide feet. These are super comfortable and it is great that he can get them wet out in the sprinkler and they are no worse for the experience. They are cute too.

Fit really well and really solid sandals. My son says they are comfortable and he loves to run in them.
